Bodies of bone and blood. Top Story - October 2023.
Jane sat in the Psychiatrist's office and listened as he prattled on about different personalities. Dr Largos had no idea what he was talking about, she was Jane, there was nobody else living inside her head. How dare he suggest such an utterly crazy thing. Did that kind of thing even exist. Pshaw, she wished the session would end so she could return to her beloved job as 'waitperson', serving drinks at the club. Jane really enjoyed mixing all the lovely types of drinks and cocktails, she even has one named after herself. "Jane the Lovely". The fellows really enjoyed the taste of her special mix.

Dear Jezu
My dear Jezu, How are you doing these days. I know you may not recognize me, but it's me Novel. I know it's been a while since we talked, and I won't blame you if you turn your face from me. Not that you've been listening to my silly prayers anyway, and even if you did, you never answer them in my timeframe, I have to wait until you believe that the time is right, or I never hear a word about it. Ever. And just so you know, I am not the only one who thinks this way.

An Unkindness of Ravens
Blackthorn the Raven sat upon its dark wintry perch watching the snowflakes fall. They shimmered, twirled and slid off the leafless tree branches like ballerinas trying desperately to find a foothold. Tiny wildlife skittered amidst the dark and white of the colorless, yet oddly beautiful landscape, much like an artistic picturesque canvas painted in graphic, barren black and white. The day shone in eerie starkness to the gloomy sunless skies.
